What to Expect in 2017: Iberia, Canada, and Cono Sur?

Yes, we have Koreans upstairs! Germans in Aisle 3, Peruvians: Out of Stock.

Where Am I?

My Expat-terns

98. Halloween is sadly not accepted by everyone. It is a very culturally relative holiday.
59. Nothing is more obnoxious than an entitled traveler, especially one who doesn’t even realize it or worse, doesn’t care.
63. You’ll meet a lot of Australians backpacking. Get to know them; they are brilliant.
24. You don’t have to convert or become a devout follower of the faith, but enjoy and experience the many beliefs of this world. They vary from ritual to messiah, so try some out for size when traveling. Visit a mosque or dance a kagura. You never know which spiritualities will be the most fun, if any.
9. Sushi joints are not one of those things that you should just stumble upon.
83. Go to countries where you really don’t understand a word; it is all the more thrilling.
33. Who is to say you can’t learn to speak Finnish, Mongolian, or Tagalog? It never occurred to me that someone cannot learn a new language. With enough perseverance, passion, trust, and creativity you can speak any tongue. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.
70. I have met a handful of older Czech men who have just scared me shitless. I don’t know about you people, but when an old Czech man starts rambling on to me about chakras, fascism, and his deceased family, I get the fuck out of there!
44. Try to save travel money. Always have that in mind because funds are essential. Do you really need that other thing right now or can you put your wallet away for when you are in Croatia? Your choice.
1. While at the Dongdaemun Night Market (Seoul, South Korea), trust your gut or face gastric consequences.

@zarakvancouver is a lovely experience with Afghan @zarakvancouver is a lovely experience with Afghan cuisine 🇦🇫 (افغان پخلی/آشپزی افغانی)

Try mantou, kebab, palaw, and saffron tea, portions perfect for sharing!

Service is impeccable and kind, with a perhaps overly organized reservation system xoxo
